Cool! Which submission?
No, 'third edition' alone isn't slimy. Especially when the book is VERY
much in the spirit and intent of the D20 STL. Trying to sneak by the
guidelines to produce borderline work by using clever euphemisms --
putting more effort into weaseling around WOTCs pretty reasonable
restrictions than in making good content -- THAT'S slimy.
The problem is, as a programmer, I am by nature a puzzle solver. Thus, I
like to postulate ways to 'beat the system', even if I consider 'the
system' to be fair, solely as an intellectual exercise.
